How to get Synchronized Defenses

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 40) and its weight modifiers. Tier 4 opens after 6 tier 3 technologies of the same area. As a rare technology it is drawn less often, and some rare ones only appear after an event, a relic or a special project.

Synchronized Defenses: questions

How do I get Synchronized Defenses in Stellaris?

Research Self-Evolving Logic first (3 technologies in the whole chain); then Synchronized Defenses can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options. It is a rare technology: its draw weight is low, and some are only offered after an event, a relic or a special project. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).

What does Synchronized Defenses do?

It unlocks Defense Grid (starbase building).

What is the ID of Synchronized Defenses?

The technology's ID is tech_synchronized_defences. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_synchronized_defences (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Synchronized Defenses cost?

10,000 physics research before modifiers. In game the cost grows with empire size (+0.2% per point above the base, common/defines) and the galaxy's tech cost setting.
